Do You Feel Rushed To Share Photos?

I took this photo several weeks ago. I really liked what I had, however I waited before posting it. And I'm glad I did. I made some subtle tweaks to the processing and some finer touch ups.

Recently, I've been taking a bit of "downtime" from a shot before sharing. When a photo is fresh and new, I'm excited about it and very eager to process and share it. Yet after a cooling down period, sometimes I find either the photo isn't as good as I thought it was (excitement overpowering common sense :), or realize I want to take the photo in a different direction.

Do you ever feel rushed to post a photo? If so, how do you deal with it?

Lastly, a little behind the scenes action on the making of this photo...

Scott Davenport is a landscape photographer and photo educator and based in San Diego, California. He leads photo workshops, writes photography books, makes tutorial videos, and feels weird referring to himself in the 3rd person. He also can't help getting his feet wet photographing at the beach.
